The following statement is attributed to Benjamin Wash, CEO, Taxi Council Queensland:
Taxi Council Queensland applauds the announcement by the State Government that it has reversed its decision – announced in last year’s budget – to cap the usage of this valuable scheme. Queensland has one of the largest fleets of disabled-accessible taxis in the world and we value our customers with disabilities. This is a victory for the vulnerable and great news for people across the state who rely on taxi travel as their only form of transport.
